Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Feedback from ICT’s AGM on Monday evening: “John Robertson was present and answered a couple of questions at the end. He said he feels we are a better footballing side than Hearts and is confident we can beat them.” You can’t really argue with that prognosis. Roll on Hampden in May J The last sentence there is from an Inverness fan not myself, for clarity :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainy Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Cant argue with that I would imagine most teams play better football than us as we seem to have lostthe ability to play any at all. We would absolutley of been the draw Inverness were hoping for out of the hat, espceially since Robbo was at the game at Firrhill. They will fancy their chances. The final is no way a given.

Shaggy2 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I’m hoping he puts his tactics where his mouth is and tries to give us a game of football. Any team matching our work rate and drawing us into a battle is earning success. Mind you, Dundee out-footballed us last week and seeing as zero football was played on Saturday by either team, I’m fecked if I’m making a solid prediction for the semi. No idea what to expect other than ICT’s defending being a lot better than it was in July, which gives us a big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we had built up a 13 point lead on them from Aug - Oct. You don’t expect to drop a point a game to a rival over that length of time without criticism. I’m sure I heard that everyone except Dundee had matched or bettered Hearts points total since October’s end. May not be true and I can’t be arsed looking back, but there’s enough doubt that I couldn’t say for sure that it’s wrong without checking.

Our tactics and set up is far more suited to playing in a match like Celtic. You're right we wouldn't have that home advantage, but I think we resort far better to being the hunted rather than the hunter if you'll excuse the analogy.
